The telescope
Super 200mm (8-inch) computerised telescope
This full GOTO 200mm (8-inch) computer-controlled, collapsible reflecting telescope package is the perfect instrument for astronomers at home or on the move.
The elegant truss tube design has been carefully engineered to combine ease-of-use, extreme portability and consistent performance. Unlike other truss tube designs, the SkyWatcher Collapsible Dobsonian does not need to be disassembled between sessions and transports as two compact parts that can be joined and ready to use in seconds! Perfect for convenient portability and storage
This model features a patented tension adjustment control on the altitude bearings, which eliminates the need and added cost of clumsy counterweight balance systems.
Using a simple one- or two-star alignment, your electronic telescope will be ready in minutes to take you on a tour of the night sky! Decide on your objects of interest and simply dial them up in the computerised hand controller.
